john's bike winding down.........

old school style & class meets modern geometry and materials.

smooooooth........ there's a good amount of time in that area....... tools of the trade. thanks, chris!

just about got this baby done after a marathon seven and 1/2 hour polishing session yesterday! it's looking really smooth, and i dig the flow of the lines...........i got this superb snap-on needle file set from good buddy chris and man, it ROCKS. the handles grip the file really securely and the contours of the individual files match the fillets really well and they are sharp. so, i need to get a RAL# for color choice on it. still waiting for the forks to show from blacksheep. gonna go out and knock out the bottom bracket/seattube/chainstay fillets and put some brazeons and the seatstay brace in and call it a wrap. later, steve.

SO, WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT, THEN?

Hi! my name is Steve Garro, and this blog is an ongoing chronical of the process of building the finest handmade bicycles I can here at Coconino Cycles, located in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona.

I'm a one man operation, doing all the design and fabrication in house with my own hands. we have been operating full time since feburary 2003, producing about 20-25 frames a year, as well as handbuilt wheelsets and complete bike builds. every bike is totally custom fit to the needs and measurements of each rider and built from scratch with hand selected tubesets from several premium manufactuers including True Temper, Dedacciai and Kaisei. I pride myself on perfect fit, ride quality, and durability to provide you with the best cycling experence I can. to know more details, check out my web page, http://www.coconinocycles.com/

Please note that as of 1/14 I had a roughly one amd a half year backlog on orders. I have since stopped taking deposits to catch up on work until January 2015

When looking through my blog, you will also see alot of details of my life and pictures of things I like to do and stuff that I think is cool, like handcycling, fishing, boating, friends and family, critters, landscape, and flowers, with some wierd stuff thrown in for good measure. enjoy, and thanks for stopping by - Steve
